«Dombey and Son» is the classic novel by Charles Dickens published by Modern Library in paperback (912 pages, in English).
The story follows Paul Dombey, a wealthy shipowner who only desires a son to continue the family business and marginalizes his daughter. His pride, a marriage of convenience, and obsession with business lead to his personal and professional ruin; Dickens portrays cruelty toward children, betrayal, and industrial dehumanization.
The novel was originally published in 1848. This Modern Library Classics edition, based on the 1867 text, includes an introduction by Jonathan Lethem.
For readers of Victorian fiction and English classics with an interest in Dickens's social criticism.
